Around The League 40: As we barrel towards 40 teams

Man, f*** Trouba

Man, f*** Trouba

From yesterday’s game, here’s him skating away from a fight, something I’ve been reliably told he’d never, ever do, under pain of being called a wimp.

 

[AD Skinner]

He’s such a shit

 

[MrazeksVengeance]

Man, f*** Trouba

I want him injured.

I am done pretending (for months) it’s not OK thing to wish.

 

[Unhinged Finn]

Man, f*** Trouba

What is his major malfunction?

 

[Svechhammer]

Marty McSorley got a full year ban from the league for pulling shit like this and Trouba gets a $5k fine as a repeat offender.

f*** Parros. Motherf***er owns a 'make hockey violent again' clothing line and is in charge of Player Safety, so of course he allows this. Probably masturbated all night to it on replay. It's time the players stood up for their own safety and forced some change here. Guys like Trouba are just one game away from ending someone else's career with some over the line bullshit and we can all see it coming.

 

[HisIceness]

It's okay when Trouba does it because "Trouba Train" or some horseshit

 

[Sens1Canes2]

from the other camera angle it looks completely different

When Nikishin gets here and steamrolls dudes in open ice, maybe some of you will change your tune on Trouba?

Of all his big hit highlights I haven’t seen any that are dirty like Trouba

He's not 2 hand tomahawk choppping people.

 

[AD Skinner]

Blowing someone up in open ice is a hockey play, swinging your stick around like a weapon isn’t

If clean? Yes. Especially if there is no injury. Unless it’s someone deserving. Yes, being deserving is defined by my subjective opinion.

I wouldn’t change my tune for slashing someone’s face.
Maybe if it was Trouba’s face. Or Wilson’s face.
Yeah I would change my tune in **several** specific cases.

Then again, wishing pain upon people is kind of my thing.

…

I. Want him. Hurt.

 

[Derailed75]

As per the main board thread. Trouba talking shit about Aho not accepting a fight after a unintentional hit the hurt Fox because Fox swerved right into Aho's knee, is how good players stand up for their team mates.

Trouba not accepting a fight after a suspect hit against a bigger guy that in all likelihood would have whipped his ass is smart hockey, no need to stand up for yourself in that situation.

 

[Cardiac Jerks]

Raanta sure could've used the force last night.

A Vader or stormtrooper mask would sure be sweet.

Come to think about it all of our skaters deserve to wear stormtrooper helmets.

Jar Jar Binks would have been better in net.

 

[Navin R Slavin]

Jar Jar Binks would have been better in net.

Jar Jar Binks would be better than any goaltender in NHL history, but only when it would most benefit him, and every save would always look like a crazy accident.

 

[Nikishin Go Boom]

Supposedly that was confirmed but they did such a great up job making him a hatable character that Lucas didn’t make that a reality in movies 2 and 3.

The first three sucked anyways so jar jar being an annoying character didn’t subtract from the movies

That Reddit analysis was so ironclad. Some of the best detective work I've ever seen. Lucas was a coward; Sith Lord Binks would have made the prequel trilogy as good as the original. Maybe better.

When Nikishin takes a baseball swing at someone's head with his stick, I'll criticize him in kind.

 

[AD Skinner]

I have a soft spot for the prequels even though they definitely are bad movies, but Darth Jar Jar would have been a billion times better than the sequels that actually got made

When he does that, someone in the upper level is getting a souvenir.

 

[Svechhammer]

Jar Jar as Darth Plagueis or a reincarnation of him would have been brilliant and everyone involved is a coward for not going in that direction. Instead, "somehow Palpatine returned"

 

[Navin R Slavin]

Yep. So many chances to redeem that plot line, all wasted by cowardice.

That is such a fun read and theory. The Xanth Bink reference is so spot on as well.

With gyfcat gone, it makes that post lose so much of its evidence. Sad.
